|
<h2>The short version</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Margin is an offline writing studio that runs on your own computer. Your book and everything
|
|
you write stay on your device. We never receive a copy, and nothing you write is sent away to
|
|
be read or stored by us. This page explains the few places where data is involved, so you know
|
|
exactly what happens and what does not.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>What stays on your device</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Your manuscript, your spelling and grammar checks, your fonts and book setup, and every print
|
|
and ebook export all happen locally on your machine. None of this requires an account, a login,
|
|
or an internet connection, and none of it passes through our servers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>No account, no tracking</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You do not need to sign up, log in, or give us an email address to write with Margin. This
|
|
website does not use tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or third-party analytics. The only
|
|
thing the site stores in your browser is your light or dark theme preference, kept locally so
|
|
the page looks the way you left it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Downloads and updates</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Margin is distributed through GitHub Releases. When you download the app, or when the app checks
|
|
for a new version to keep itself up to date, a request is made to GitHub to fetch the latest
|
|
release. As with any web request, GitHub can see your IP address for that request, handled under
|
|
GitHub's own privacy policy. We do not add any tracking of our own to these requests.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Optional backup to your Google Drive</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Margin can save a backup of your book to your own Google Drive, but only if you turn it on. When
|
|
you do, you connect your own Google account, and the backup is written to your Drive, in your
|
|
account, under your control. We never receive a copy of that backup and cannot read it. You can
|
|
disconnect Margin from your Google account at any time from your Google account settings, and the
|
|
app works exactly the same with the feature switched off.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Payments</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you buy Margin, the payment is handled by a third-party payment processor. We do not see or
|
|
store your full card details. The processor handles the transaction and shares with us only what
|
|
we need to confirm your purchase and provide support.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Children</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Margin is a tool for writers and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly
|
|
collect personal information from children.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Changes to this policy</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If we update this policy, we will change the date at the top of this page. Because the app keeps
|
|
your book on your own device, the spirit of this policy is unlikely to change: your words belong
|
|
to you.
